Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard could potentially be in line for a fairytale comeback to Rangers as the heat intensifies on Russell Martin, the Scottish club's current manager.
The former Swansea and Southampton manager was brought in by Rangers during the summer.
Rangers remain without victory in five Scottish Premiership games, leaving the team languishing in 10th place and already trailing title rival Celtic by nine points.
The Rangers faithful seem to have already lost patience with Martin.
When questioned recently about whether he still holds the Rangers board's confidence, Martin offered a cryptic response: "We'll see."
Should he be fired in the near future, Liverpool icon Gerrard could well surface as a leading contender to take his place.
Gerrard enjoyed a magnificent initial stint north of the border, guiding Rangers to Scottish Premiership glory in 2021.

Russell Martin is running out of time at Rangers.
Gerrard departed the club in January this year and has remained unemployed since.
He was heavily tipped for a Rangers return during the summer but chose to pull out of the running after opting to remain with his family in the Middle East.
I'm happy with waking up and being free, doing the family stuff, just being free away from stress.
"I will go in at some point, but when it's round the clocks, I've doing it 18, 19 months, I want to be free, I want to play a round of golf, go down the boozer and have a couple of beers, do normal things that you can't do when you're coaching."
Whether Gerrard's position on returning to management changes if the Rangers job becomes available is yet to be seen
